Diane Smith — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:08:47 +0000

Tiger Lily came to Noah’s Ark in 2008 at the age of three from a private sanctuary in the mid-west. She is very sweet tiger and loves to “talk” with her visitors. Sharing her habitat is Gabby, who came in 2011 at just a little over a year old. Gabby came from an abusive situation [...]

Critter Review — Bagherra

Diane Smith — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 13:07:44 +0000

Bagherra the leopard came to Noah’s Ark in 2005 as a young cub. He is Noah’s Ark’s only leopard. Bagherra is very mischievous and could probably be counted as one of our most dangerous animals. A grown leopard can easily carry an antelope up a tree. They are the most temperamental of the big cats [...]

Meet Little Anne, Doc and Leonard Little Anne the bear cub was found abandoned in North Georgia following tornadoes in the Spring of 2011. Apparently she and her mother were separated in the storm. The Department of Natural Resources brought her to Noah’s Ark where she began an adventure that few bears have experienced. Her [...]

Baby deer — rescue or not?

You found a beautiful fawn lying in a secluded place. You watch for a while and you don’t see momma deer. So you wait…a few hours go by, still no momma deer. Is it time to step and rescue this poor, “abandoned” baby? Probably not! Mother deer will leave fawns alone for 8–12 hours at [...]

In Loving Memory of Evidence

Diane Smith — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 16:02:37 +0000

Seldom does a member of the animal kingdom have an impact on hearts and lives like Evidence the zebra. This little, striped wonder survived an apparent fall from a transport truck; was struck and sustained life-threatening injuries by another vehicle; and then survived two major surgeries and a bout of colic that would have killed [...]

EVIDENCE — Hero of the Month

Diane Smith — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:53:15 +0000

Evidence - Our Hero! We’ve decided to veer a little bit from the norm this time and have chosen an animal to be our Hero of the Month - it’s everybody’s favorite zebra, EVIDENCE! This beautiful two-year old is maturing into a pretty terrific member of the Noah’s Ark family. He’s adapted to being handled by more caregivers, allowing back [...]

Monkeyshines!

Noah’s Ark Monkeys Ask a child visiting Noah’s Ark, “What was your favorite animal?” and the answer is often, “The monkeys!” Perhaps it’s because they are more active than many of the animals – or the fact that they are very mischievous …and well, they are just so doggone cute! Noah’s Ark has 24 monkeys, ranging [...]

Animal Enrichment

Diane Smith — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 19:52:43 +0000

Happy Fall Y’All It’s amazing what happens when you put a simple pumpkin in with some of the Noah’s Ark animals. Apparently, they consider it as some new, mysterious prey. We put a few donated pumpkins in with our BLT (bear, lion and tiger) and with Charlie’s Angels – the three former circus tigers. The animals [...]

A Night at the Ark Noah’s Ark’s Third Annual “A Night at the Ark” gala was a huge success on every level. The biggest hit may have been a chance to see Gable and Speedy the monkeys, or pat beautiful Raven…and the heroes of the evening were those who decided to sponsor some of the animals for [...]

Hero of the Month — Julie Larsh

Sue Crane — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:19:20 +0000

If you see a little red Volkswagen beetle with a flower in the vase in the Noah’s Ark parking lot, it generally means that volunteer Julie Larsh is on duty in the habitat. Julie became a Noah’s Ark volunteer over two years ago – drawn to us by a news report about a very special [...]
